Stolloween pumpkin making tutorial

I've been a fan of Stolloween's paper-mache work for a long time. That's one of the reasons why I'm so excited that he now offers a tutorial on how to create this patented style of pumpkin. Fair warning though... towards the end of the tutorial there is a very graphic photo of one of his fingers with the tip cut off. (Actually, there's also a photo of the severed tip sitting on a piece of newspaper, but I didn't find that quite as disgusting.)
